2027 Evangelism Network

What does it mean to be an evangelist? What are some common misconceptions about evangelism? In this session, we’ll consider what Scripture has to say about the crucial work of evangelists, spend time in prayer, and get to know other participants in the Network.

The last decade has seen a true podcast revolution, moving from a hobby for friends to a strategy from big corporations and media outlets to boost their businesses. How do we, as Christians, enter into this podcasting revolution, how can our voice and message be heard, and how can we reach new people with the Gospel? In this talk, we will explore some strategies for effective witness online through podcasting, working through the main difficulties and how to approach them.

Most of us don’t have a gift of evangelism. How can we remain faithful in sharing the good news, even through the discouragement of mistakes and perceived failures? This workshop will offer encouragement for those struggling in their evangelistic efforts and discuss the blessing of sharing our faith, even when it’s done imperfectly. Drawing from his own mistakes and successes, Jerry Root will offer practical and effective ways of sharing the Gospel.

Over 1.4 billion people in the world identify as Roman Catholic, and chances are you know some of them. If Roman Catholic theology and practice, at its core, obscures the true Gospel, then many are being led astray, not in the name of Mohammed, Buddha, or secularism, but in the name of Jesus Christ! In this session, we will consider why Evangelicals must share the Gospel with Catholics, the main challenges we face in doing so, and practical ways to begin Gospel conversations with our Catholic friends, family and neighbours.

One of the keys to communicating the Gospel more effectively is understanding what another person thinks about the big questions we are all longing to answer. In this session, Keith will share a framework from his book A Clear View, which has also been translated into Italian, to help you understand the key components that contribute to how a person’s worldview is formed and how a Christian worldview offers a satisfying answer to these big questions. Equipped with this information, you will be able to engage people in conversation more effectively no matter what their worldview and demonstrate how a Christian worldview provides satisfying answers to life’s big questions.

Worship Evangelism challenges traditional evangelistic methods by asserting that authentic worship can serve as a powerful form of outreach. This session will explore how engaging in genuine, God-focused worship can draw seekers into an encounter with the divine presence, making worship a bridge for evangelism. We’ll discuss the idea that worship should not be about performance but about creating an environment where God is central, and people are invited into a transformational experience.

Christianity is often viewed as not only wrong but arrogant, hypocritical, and moralistic. Many of these challenges come from the sexual revolution that is sweeping the world. How are Christians to talk about the Gospel in a world that is being shaped by LGBTQ+ movement? This session proposes some ideas for defending and commending the classical Christian view of sex in the context of evangelism.

Deconstruction has become a widespread trend in modern spirituality. Many people are walking away from the faith they grew up in. What if they are not actually rejecting God, but rather a fragile caricature that was never meant to survive in a real-world context? This seminar analyzes the deconstruction process by identifying the specific "false gods" and intellectual barriers that cause a childhood faith to crumble. It offers a pastoral response that moves beyond defensive arguments, instead pointing toward the historical reality of the resurrection as the only foundation capable of sustaining an intellectually mature faith.
